What was the First Record that you Bought?

Love grows where my Rosemary goes by Edison Lighthouse
I can’t remember the year I think it was around 1969

I ordered 'The Sounds of Silence' Simon and Garfunkle from a record shop in Mexborough S. Yorkshire- formerly West Riding. I had heard them on my Perdio radio on pirate radio in my bedroom. I got that radio for passing my 11+!

Catch the Wind, loved Donovan, still do!

I remember the first two but not in which order! They are very different:

- Let's Stay Together by Al Green
- Bend Me Shape me by Amen Corner

Laughing Gnome by David Bowie...I was about 5 and had no idea it was about drugs, and neither did my family!

Streets of London - Ralph McTell

I didn't buy it, it was my Christmas gift from my parents, a record player and an LP of Elvis, just called ELVIS PRESLEY. I WAS 14. 1956

Young girl union gap

'When I fall in love' by Nat King Cole
Lovely voice

Sandie Shaw Puppet on a String 1967 I was 10 I lived with my Nan , who was crippled with Arthritis, and in a wheelchair, I used to take her out to local shops, and remember, us both choosing this, although I can't recall how we listened to it !!!

‘Sweets for my Sweet’ by the Searchers.

YorkLady- I Feel Fine was my 1st record too. I was 8!

Single was Melting Pot by Blue Mink, which is oddly apt in a way for the times we're living in. Although some of the words might just raise offence as everything seems to, but an interesting view at the time. First Pop LP was Sgt Pepper, still love it and have my original copy also Grieg's Piano Concerto for the first classical one. Got them all still.

My cousin was Miles Kington a double base player and he persuaded me to buy Marty Wilde "Mack the knife' I loved it. I was 13. Fortunately my parents liked it too.

Mine was just a single, by Labi Siffre, "It Must be Love, Love, Love"
(think I was in it at the time, but looking back, possibly not!)

Dr Hook: 'A Little bit more'.
My dad threw it out because I played it that much!

‘The Carpenters’ album. Cost me £2 10 s in 1974.

Esther & Abi Ofarim, Cinderella, Rockefella. I was 10 at the time with little taste. Lol

Apache by The Shadows. It cost 6s 4d. Played it over and over again. I still love it.

The first single I owned was My Ding-A-Ling by Chuck Berry 1972

Return to Sender.Elvis Presley.Can’t remember which year,around 1963.
